My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1790

Even after tossing and turning, Adrienne still could not sleep. She wanted to find someone to open up to about her worries. After thinking about it, she could only turn to Freya but it was already quite late at night. It would be a little inappropriate to bother Freya and Freddy.

Adrienne was about to withdraw her hand when her phone suddenly buzzed. There was a message notification.

She picked up the phone and looked at it. The message read, "If you want to know who killed your parents, be at 29, Foresty Road in half an hour. Otherwise, you will never know who did it."

Seeing this message, Adrienne's hands were shaking. She rolled out of bed and changed her clothes as fast as she could. In a rush, she was about to leave.

However, she hesitated when her hand reached the door handle.

Who was the person who sent the message to her?

Why did that person choose to send her a message in the middle of the night?

Adrienne had some suspicions as this message could be a fluke. However, when she thought about how her parents died miserably, even if this piece of information was fake or if she was about to walk right into danger, she still wanted to go through with it.

She wanted to call the police and ask Quill for help, but what happened the day before made her have a new perception toward the whole of the Paramount Criminal Police Team including Zelson.

It was not that she didn't want to believe in them, but sometimes they had their own things to deal with.

Excluding the criminal police unit, the only other person Adrienne could think of was Jefferson. When she thought of him, she quickly forwarded the message she received to him with no hesitation.

"Boss, we've been fooled!" In the middle of the messy room was a voice recorder. Austin looked over to Jefferson carefully.

"Do you think I'm blind? I don't need you to tell me." They had come out of their mission empty-handed. This was also the only failed mission that Jefferson had led so far. He was the most frustrated out of everyone. "D*mn, how dare they use a recorder to play tricks on me?"

No one dared to say a word. After rechecking his surroundings, Jefferson shouted angrily, "Let's call it a day!"

On the way back, Jefferson turned on his phone and immediately saw the message notification from Adrienne. When he read it, the first thing he thought of was the recording earlier.

"I promise you that I have my ways to settle Jefferson. As for how, you don't need to know that."

Could it be that those b*stards wanted to use Adrienne against him?

Thinking of this, Jefferson immediately ordered, "Everyone pay attention, head to 29, Foresty Road immediately."

After that, he immediately dialed Adrienne's phone but the call could not be connected.

Jefferson quickly turned on the tracker he had installed on Adrienne's phone. The app showed that Adrienne was near Mangrove Bay...

Foresty Toad and Mangrove Bay were in two separate directions, one in the north and one in the south. The distance between them was at least half an hour.

Jefferson checked the time he received the message. It was from half an hour ago... In other words, Adrienne had most likely already fallen to the enemy's hands. "Adrienne, you idiot, I told you to stay at home, but you didn't listen to me."

After that, Jefferson tightened his grip on the steering wheel and sped off like a rocket all the way to Mangrove Bay. At the same time, he ordered, "Everyone, follow me. We're heading to Mangrove Bay."

At this time, it was already 2 am. The lively city had already begun to wind down. There were almost no pedestrians on both sides of the street, and there were very few vehicles, therefore they had a smooth journey all the way.

Even though the route was smooth, Jefferson was still very anxious. He could not get in touch with Adrienne and he wasn't sure if she was safe, therefore he could not be at ease.

He had always thought that he was protecting Adrienne, but he didn't know that he had unconsciously brought the danger to her side by letting her be with him.

Usually, it would take at least half an hour to get from Golden Hall Street to Mangrove Bay. However, since the road was practically empty and at Jefferson's deathly speed, it took him only about ten minutes.

Following Adrienne's phone's location, he did not manage to find her but instead, found her phone in the grass...

"Boss, what's going on?" Several members finally caught up with Jefferson and saw him picking up a phone. His face was livid as if he was about to erupt into anger at the next second.

"Austin, take some men with you to 29, Foresty Road. The rest of the members stay with me to search the area," ordered Jefferson.

Austin plucked up his courage and asked, "Boss, what are we looking for?"

"Dr. Carter."

Austin was stunned. "What happened to Dr. Carter?"

"You must find her. Bring her safely back to me. If so much as a hair on her head has been hurt, I'll make sure you all bear the consequences."

At the same time, Jefferson had taken out his phone and was making a call. "Old fogey, get the Ministry of Transport to hand over their surveillance tapes. I don't care what you need to do but I must find Adrienne."

Albert did not respond right away. After a few seconds, he answered, "Jefferson, our family does not own the Ministry of Transport. Can't you solve your relationship problems yourself?"

"If she loses even so much as a strand of hair, I'll end you," Jefferson roared.

Jefferson was so angry that he hung up the phone. Soon after, a strange number called. He answered it and shouted, "Who's there?"

The soft voice of Adrienne came from the phone receiver, "Jefferson, it's me."

Upon hearing Adrienne's voice, Jefferson's heart trembled and even his voice shook. "Little Specky, don't be afraid. No matter what, I will definitely save you."

Adrienne said in a low voice, "I'm fine. I'm with the Paramount Criminal Police Team now."

Jefferson did not ask her why she left her phone at Mangrove Bay. He immediately got into the car and started the car. "Austin, take the whole team back. Have a good rest today. You can all have a day off tomorrow."

After arriving at the Paramount Criminal Police Team's station, Jefferson pulled Adrienne into his arms and hugged her tight. Only when he felt her breath and warmth did he feel the heavy load lift off his chest. "What happened exactly?"

His voice was still fierce, but Adrienne could clearly feel that his body was trembling. She patted him on the back and comforted him softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Answer my question."

Hearing his roar, Adrienne could not help but shrink her neck. "I received an anonymous text message earlier tonight. I rushed to 29, Foresty Road just like the message instructed. But as soon as I headed out, I realized I was being followed. Thus, I knew that the message was most likely a fluke. I tried my best to think of a way to rid them off my trail. While I was running away, I worried that they might have installed a tracker in my phone, hence I threw my phone away at Mangrove Bay. Then, I came here to the station."

"Little idiot!" Jefferson rubbed her head hard. He was too afraid to think about what might have happened had she not realized she was being followed and then cleverly came to the criminal police team to hide.
